An outstanding effort from the Kentucky defense gave Mark Stoops win No. 61. The Wildcats put the clamps on Florida and Anthony Richardson to knock off the No. 12 Gators 26-16. Kentucky has wins over Florida in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1976-77 and Mark Stoops has more wins than any other UK head football coach.
The Wildcats held the Gators to four-and-out not once, but twice in the fourth quarter in Florida territory. Carrington Valentine delivered a PBU on fourth down to give the ball back to the Cats. A possession later freshman Deone Walker gobbled up a tackle for loss on third down to put Kentucky in position to close out the Gators.
